CityFibre has partnered with local ISP Triangle Networks for
the launch, which has committed a minimum of 100 new customers on the network
by the end of 2016.

“We’re delighted to be able to announce Bristol as our next
Gigabit City project and to be working with Triangle Networks, experts and
innovators in business connectivity, to ensure its success,” said Greg Mesch,
CEO at CityFibre.

“Bristol is already a UK leader in digital innovation, but
its business community has not yet had the opportunity to take full-advantage.
This project provides that opportunity and I could think of nowhere more
exciting to begin our latest project.”

The project will focus on providing “Gigabit-speed-as-standard”
services to businesses across Bristol, and it is due to officially launch next
month.

“We have been watching demand for ultra-fast services grow
exponentially in recent years and this project has the potential to unlock a
tide of demand for faster, more resilient and more affordable services,” said Paul
Anslow, MD at Triangle Networks.

“As this is a pure fibre network, Triangle will be launching
services that are ‘Gigabit-speed-as-standard’, far faster than those possible
on ‘Fibre to the cabinet’ networks that are still restricted by the limitations
of copper wires. This enables businesses to stop concerning themselves with
bandwidth restrictions and start to make the most of new ways of working that
will improve their experience and drive the bottom line.”
